Excerpt from The Secret RevealedThere is perhaps no word in common use in the English language that has been more perverted from the original meaning intended by the founder, Samuel Hahnemann, than the word homoeopathy. In theearly years of the present cen tury, it meant the system of the laws of therapeutics, as discov ered by Dr. Hahnemann, and when prefixed to a doctor's name it signified that he practiced according to the rules given in the Organon of the Healing Art, (a book of two hundred and forty-four pages and two hundred and ninety-two sections, or rules, which have a similar relation to the treatment of the sick as grammar has to the use of a language. In other words, the Organon is the guide for the physician in practice.) Then, the words homoeopathy and allopathy represent entirely different and distinct methods of treating the Sick. But during the century the practice of the two systems has been so much intermingled with each other that even the most intelligent are unable, in manycases, to distinguish one from the other by the prescriptions, and much less by the methods of examining a patient. A large number of physicians who call themselves hommopathists dis card the teachings of the Organon and deny the truth of the system of chronic diseases. Many say they are wild theories, old and out of date. Dr. Hahnemann called such doctors pseudo-homoeopathists (false homoeopathists): others call them allo-homoeopathists (mixed), others call them mongrels (half breed). But applying such names to our fellow physicians is ill advised, and tends only to evil, much better it would be to use, as a distinguishing term, the name they have chosen for themselves, viz: Modem Homopathtstr.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
